Research Interests

I’m interested in the experimental study of quantum materials, focusing on unconventional superconductivity and its interplay with other emergent electronic phases.

Education

Smith College

About Me

Outside of physics, I have a deep interest in the history of science. During a year studying abroad in France, I explored the cultural and intellectual roots of quantum physics—how the ideas emerged, and the people behind them. A highlight was visiting the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, where I conducted archival research on the role of play, collaboration, and fun, and how these dynamics helped shape the development of quantum theory!
